1.
Are you recording this?
One of many theories around what makes a ghost says that they
are scientifically explicable. The Psychic Recordings theory holds
that certain events (especially violent ones) can quite literally
be recorded onto the walls of a building; and that, in certain
natural atmospheric conditions these recordings replay themselves
– much to the alarm of anyone who happens to be present when this
occurs!
